“The U.S. Senate is broken. They spend their time bickering, pointing fingers and fighting about who deserves credit for what little they accomplish. Their focus is on getting re-elected, not on solving the real problems facing our families and communities. Nothing will change if we just send the same people back to Washington D.C. The Senate needs new leaders who will actually solve problems.” -- Mike McGavick
Mike McGavick is exactly the proven problem solver we need. Born and raised in Washington, Mike is a father, husband and business leader. Mike worked in the Senate at a time when it actually produced results. As the CEO of Safeco, Mike brought people together and through hard work and personal responsibility, led Safeco back from the brink of bankruptcy, saving thousands of Northwest jobs. Mike’s decisive leadership will produce results.
DEFICIT SPENDING. Out of control federal spending hurts every American. A consistent vote for higher taxes, the incumbent voted for more spending than any other Senator in the 108th Congress. Mike has a record of delivering better services more efficiently. He will make the hard choices to stop deficit spending.
TERRORISM. America is still vulnerable to terrorist attack and the Senate has not done enough to protect us. Mike will vote to adopt the full set of 9/11 Commission recommendations for a safer America.
BORDER SECURITY. Unsecured borders threaten our communities but the Senate doesn’t act. We must secure our borders while providing for an adequate workforce.
While the Senate is gridlocked by partisanship, our problems get worse. They have closed their minds and hearts. But it hasn’t always been this way. It’s time to send back a voice of Northwest common sense and civility, Mike McGavick, to focus again on solving the real problems facing our families and communities.

A Vision for America. I have a vision of a free and peaceful America that respects the rights of every individual. For years, the bi-partisan leadership in DC has taken us further away from that vision. It’s time for new leadership and a fresh approach to politics. I’m committed to restoring the great American promise for this generation – and those to come.
A Policy of Peace. Americans are peace-loving people, yet American military policy has jeopardized our standing with the rest of the world. We must begin the immediate, safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. We must reduce permanent US troop deployment around the globe. We must ensure that we have the best defensive military in the world by keeping it all-volunteer and treating our service members with dignity and respect.
A Culture of Freedom. America was founded on the understanding that society flourishes when individuals are free, yet the current administration demonstrates a complete disregard for this basic principle. We must stop treating innocent Americans like criminals and end domestic spying programs. We must legally recognize an individual right to medical freedom. We must ensure that all individuals are given equal protection under the law.
A Legacy of Hope. I want to create a better world for our children and grandchildren while honoring those who sacrificed so much for our sake. We must protect future generations from runaway spending and reduce the deficit. We must reallocate resources to honor our obligations to seniors and veterans. We must restore faith in our democracy by ensuring fair and open elections, investigating and prosecuting corruption, and restoring the Constitutional checks and balances to our system.
Vote Your Values. If you share my vision of a free and peaceful America, I would be grateful for your support and your vote.
